Day 4

As we begin today, we need always to remember that the result of sin always brings death (Romans 6:23, James 1:14-15). As we examine Genesis 6 and Genesis 7 this week, we will see the result of mankind’s sin. In Genesis 6, God paints a pretty discouraging picture for us of how corrupt and sinful mankind had become. The human population had be...

In yesterday’s devotion, we began to unpack how depraved mankind had become, as recorded in Genesis 6. We also saw how the “sons of God” took on human form and had relations with women who gave birth to what God called “Nephilim” (fallen ones). In Scripture, we see that God brought judgment on these fallen angels as well. God tells us the out...

As we continue to walk through Genesis 6, we read in Genesis 6:5-10 that sin had gotten so bad that God had decided to destroy ALL of humanity, except for eight people. We need to consider this lost world we live in now as we read Genesis 6 today. It is so obvious today that sin abounds all over our world. It is also hard for us to even imagi...

Our last two devotions have shown us the horrible effects of sin on us and God’s creation. Today we start with some Good News. Even though God regretted having created mankind, in Genesis 6:8-9 God introduces us to Noah. Genesis 6:8-9, says this of Noah, Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. 9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a...

The Good News of Noah’s faith in God is a great word for us to walk with our Lord daily. But, as we begin today, we are reminded again by God how corrupt the world was in Noah's day. God’s Word tells us again, in Genesis 6:11-12, the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God saw the earth, and behold...

As we continue today, we need to remember that covenants are found throughout Scripture, as with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and others. The Good News is that our Lord Jesus Christ brought in the New Covenant for all mankind (Hebrews 8:7-13). God the Father provided salvation through the sacrificial blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. As w...

As we end this week, we need to make sure we do not miss the devastating destruction brought about by our infinitely powerful God. It’s difficult for us even to comprehend that every man, woman, child, and animal on the face of the earth was killed, except the eight people and the animals on the ark. The stench of death covered the whole eart...
